Descriptions
The purpose of this study was to inspect how the factor structure of punishment feelings differs, depending on the perpetrator of a crime (i.e., whether the person is a juvenile or an adult) and the difference in feelings between varying generations. A factor analysis of data obtained from approximately 2,000 people, ranging in age from 10 years through to over 60 years supported that four factors model for feelings on adult crime, and three factors model for feelings on juvenile delinquency. In addition, it was shown that the factor structure of punishment feelings varied greatly, according to generation.
